Although i assume you believe family is all you need, friends bring so much more to our lives. Who would you turn to if family wasnt about if you didnt have friends?
Some times we need someone to talk to about things that family would not understand.
How would you advance in your life without friends, you would be consered an outcast
Many good things come from having friends, someone to share with, someone to share tears with,without friends you could not know the pain of loving differnt people in your life.

Friends can be over rated at times. Yes, a good friend is great to have but I find myself not really needing all that much companionship. I'm married and have a beautiful daughter that I love being with. I used to be the guy that partied every night with my friends. but now, I haven't been out at night with them for almost 5 months and to be honest, I don't miss it. Might sound cold but I don't. I know where you are coming from. Take care.

friend who is a part of your life. you can share all of your secrets with your best friend and you also know all secrets of her/him. a good friends give you a best way in trouble. he/she tried to clear your mistakes. all this examples gives your answer. have a nice day.
